2. The new compressors are MUCH louder than the original compressors. I may end up refurbing the original and putting it in and ditching this one from global. Its the fan that is loud, but replacing the fan will void the warranty. Save some bucks, if the original works, clean 'er up and put it in. For now, I will sound proof the bottom cabinet to reduce some of the additional noise. Just have to figure out what to use to do this.

if your gonna ditch your new compressor from global will you just mail it to me?

Great job! The machine looks awesome! 

What did you use for a door liner? A pal of mine recently restored a square top (not sure of the model) and could not find a new door liner. He ended up cobbling the existing liner back together with a lot of epoxy but it was far from ideal. Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes, sorry for bumping such an old post.  I do not see many tri-color Pepsi machines restored.  Usually they are just painted solid blue.  In this case I have a similar model, a Pepsi v-63 with original tri-color paint. I am thinking about restoring it and his results are what I will be looking for.

        The Vendo 63 was originally Coke red, yours has been re-painted by Pepsi.
